18578 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 59 / Wednesday, March 27, 2013 / Notices 

The combustion safety procedure in 

the BPI–1100–2012 standard is the most 

applicable to the work performed by the 

WAP. This method was retained in the 

SWS. If a suitable replacement becomes 

ANSI-approved it may be appropriate to 

modify the reference. 

2. Air Sealing 

a. Reference Standards: DOE received 

comments from ACCA, RSES and AHRI 

requesting that references be cited for 

action levels, as well as the addition of 

industry standards along with current 

citations to the International Residential 

Code. These comments are available at 

regulations.gov under Docket ID: EERE– 

2012–WE–0042. In reviewing the 

comments, it was apparent that the 

content required additional referencing 

that was also easily searchable in order 

to improve the comprehensiveness and 

usability of the SWS. Therefore, a crossreference document was developed to 

allow for users to identify referenced 

standards for individual specification 

lines that is included as an Appendix to 

the SWS titled ‘‘Appendix C: Guide to 

Referenced Standards’’. 

3. International Residential Code 

(IRC) 

a. DOE received comments from 

ACCA and RSES, indicating the citation 

of specific sections of the 2012 IRC was 

not necessary. These comments are 

available at regulations.gov under 

Docket ID: EERE–2012–WE–0042. The 

comments identified that code sections 

are often revised and it would be better 

to cite ‘‘2012 IRC’’ versus a specific 

section. DOE acknowledges that code 

references are revised, however one of 

the goals of the SWS was to allow users 

to identify and find referenced 

information easily without having to 

purchase or search through numerous 

pages of referenced text. Due to the size 

of the IRC, it was apparent that 

referencing a specific section allowed 

the user to efficiently identify the 

section to refer to and be able to apply 

that knowledge quickly to the task. 

Therefore, citation of specific sections of 

the 2012 IRC remain in the SWS. 

4. Licensed Professionals 

a. DOE received comments from 

PHCC indicating that certain tasks 

should be carried out by individuals 

licensed in a particular trade. These 

comments are available at 

regulations.gov under Docket ID: EERE– 

2012–WE–0042. DOE agrees that the use 

of licensed professionals to perform 

certain tasks is an important component 

of maintaining work quality and safety. 

Given the wide range of licensure and 

credentialing requirements across the 

country, DOE made the decision to 

include a notification at the beginning 

of each detail in the SWS to alert the 

reader that the detail may contain a task 

requiring a licensed or credentialed 

contractor. This is intended to ensure 

that the reader is aware of the 

possibility of the need for a licensed or 

credentialed professional and to 

encourage them to verify this with the 

authority having jurisdiction. 

A full comment report with responses 

to each comment received as well as 

revisions made to the content of the 

SWS can be found at: http://
